ti0n OF TheCOmmercial Tourists Bride"
q new play written for Miss Agnes Hern.
don and presented by that charming
actress and superior comedy company,
was an instantaneous and marked sue
cess. The authors, Messrs. Frederick
Hale and H. 8. Hewitt, who wrote tits
English You Know" mOdestly called
their play farcicsl comedy, possessing
the skill and Intelligence to make pure
and most enjoyable comedy the feature.
These gentlemen selecting one of the
most versatile actresses, and q most
beautiful woman around whom to re-
v0lve their plot, have caused that most
interesting Of all creatures, the Ameri-
can drummer, to assume large portion
OF the action Of the piece, and the result
is performance Of legitimate fun that
New York has not seen for many day
before.
DANIEL E. BANDMANN.
The Brooklyn Times says: "TO Daniel
Il. Bandmann more than to any other
man Is due the credit Of having made
an honest effort to relieve the world of
amusements from the dominion Of sense
less farce and sensational melodrama.
Standing almost alone In the prOfes-
sion, MIR, Bandmann has Cried the tide of
nonsense where 1t was surging most
dangerously. He has attempted to sus-
tain and cultivate the popular taste for
the legitimate drama. Shakespeare In
his hands has been brought home to the
masses as 1t never was before In Amer
lea. If his productions were not half as
satisfactory as they are he would still
deserve the appreciation of the critics
and the support of the public. But as a |
matter of fact Mr.. Bandmsnn has not |
stopped short with the selection of good
plays. He has selected company al |
ways Of merit, and better this year than
ever before; he has paid careful personal |
attention to the staging Of his plays |
and has imbued his support with his |
own magnetism. he plays a repertoire |
OF ten pieces and the labor Of such a |
weeks engagement can hardly be over
estimated by the world outside the pro-
fessiOn." Mr.. Bandmann and his excel
lent company will appear at Schaefer's |
Opera House In this city Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday evenings Of next |
week, at the popular admission price of |
10, % and 35 cents.
